SDEL System Task Usage

Areas must be available for update

In order to purge applicable security definitions from a dictionary, the DDLDML and DDLCAT areas of that dictionary must be available in update mode. Any DDLDML or DDLCAT area that is not readied in update mode will not be processed. Similarly, only the DDLDML area is processed for dictionaries not associated with a DDLCAT area.

When to use SDEL

The use of RHDCSDEL is appropriate only when resources are secured internally, that is, by CA IDMS rather than by an external security package. To enable RHDCSDEL to run at startup, add the SDEL autotask definition using the following system generation compiler syntax:

ADD AUTOTASK SDEL.

All dictionaries are analyzed as part of normal startup operations. This should be sufficient for both production and development systems.

The following sample SDEL task cleans the DDLDML and DDLCAT areas associated with dictionary DEVDICT1:

Vnnn ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: CA IDMS release nn.n tape volser node nodename sdel devdict1
